The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra said this morning that rain forecast for tonight prompted the group to move tonight's concert, the last performance of its summer series, indoors.

Originally slated for the bandshell at Covington's Devou Park, the program, dubbed "Pops Inc.," will be at 7:30 p.m. at Notre Dame Academy, 1699 Hilton Drive, Park Hills.Admission is free, although donations are accepted. No tickets are required.

James Cassidy, the orchestra's executive and music director, made the call a little after 6 a.m. "I saw the National Weather Service had bumped up its rain forecast by four hours, which would put our show in the danger zone," he said. "I called them, and they huddled on the phone with me. They said the rain was likely to fall between 8 and 9 p.m., so that wouldn't really work for us."

Aside from risking wet concertgoers, Cassidy noted rain could damage either the electronic equipment needed when the orchestra plays outdoors or the players' valuable instruments.

Tonight's lineup remains the same, featuring well-known pieces by three composers and arrangers who helped create the orchestral pops repertoire: Leroy Anderson, Richard Heyman and Hanry Mancini. Selections include familiar titles like "Fiddle Faddle," "Moon River," "The Typewriter," "The Waltzing Cat," "When the Saints Go Marching In," and the main themes to "Peter Gunn" and "The Pink Panther."

Concessions will be available at the auditorium, and Renegade Street Eats, a food truck, and Streetpops also will be on hand.

The KSO has performed several times at Notre Dame Academy's Frances K. Carlisle Performing Arts Center, including for subscription and education concerts. "I was thrilled the hall was available and we're able to use it tonight," Cassidy said.
